This is a long shot, but a similar thing happened to me when I installed the
SGI OpenGL GLU 1.3 libraries. I have no idea why there was a conflict (I
can't imagine why the KDE core has a strong binding to GLU), nor could I
resolve it (other than by uninstalling the GLU libraries). Note that these
are not the default Mesa GLU libraries - they are the SGI reference
implementation.
